I'm sure you've seen it before, but I'd be remiss not to mention The Great Old Pumpkin in any discussion involving the cartoon characters of my childhood and the associated eldritch horrors.
You know, when people talked about how it was OK to elect Bush because "the grownups" were going to be in charge, really, this is the sort of thing they were thinking about - sober talk about the real human costs of overreach and bad decisions. You listen to those same people talk now, and it's stunted and bizzare, like a telegram sent from inside a lunatic asylum. I have to wonder; what the hell happened?
It is vitally important to the safety of the nation that you pay a visit to Schwartz's while you're there. You might have heard of "Montreal-style smoked meat"; what that actually means is "as close to Schwartz's as we could figure out how to make it".
When you get in there, you'll look around and wonder why I've told you this, or indeed why civilized-looking people are lined up down the road at all hours of the day just for ten dollars worth of take-out from what has all the outward appearance of a crappy dive of a diner; I tell you now, they are doing this because it is bar-none the best smoked meat in the world, and is not to be missed.
